Graphene nanoparticles were added at 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm as additive into vegetable oil as lubricant through hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation as homogenising mechanism. The tribological properties of each homogenised solution were tested using a four-ball machine according to ASTM D4172. Wear scar diameter and friction coefficient were the determining parameters in this study. The results showed that 50 ppm is the optimum concentration that recorded the lowest wear scar diameter and friction coefficient as compared to control sample. © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2017. date: 2017 publisher: Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85013230444&doi=10.21315%2fjps2017.28.s1.17&partnerID=40&md5=13733174d8b2fd069be6557b705626c0 id_number: 10.21315/jps2017.28.s1.17 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Physical Science volume: 28 pagerange: 257-267 refereed: TRUE issn: 16753402 citation: Kiu, S.S.K. and Yusup, S. and Soon, C.V. and Arpin, T. and Samion, S. and Kamil, R.N.M.
